Mike Dempsey Longshots


Live Longshots:
These are price plays for exotic players looking to find a couple of extra contenders to use in their trifecta and superfecta wagers. Or for those with smaller bankrolls, you might want to get in a small win-place wager.

AQU 1st #7 Brave as a Lion (15-1) is the Small runner Rosie lands on and should be a decent price here. The filly broke her maiden last out in her fourth career start at Laurel Park. She has a nice pedigree, by Lion Heart out of the stakes winner Smartly ($172K) who has dropped four winners, top earner Roaring Lion ($320K). Worth tossing in the mix here if we see most of the 15/1 ML.

#2 Ms. Vanenzza- stretched out and broke her maiden in a stake race. She finished her season with a 7 length loss in the BC filly. She shortens back up to a mile and should have little trouble beating these non winners of two.

#5 Quiet Invader- Fast colt missed by a nose in a key race that has produced four next out winners. He should get an easy wire to wire win for the hot Baffert Barn.

#4 The Program- The probable favorite is also trained by Baffert and is coming off a strong run in a grade I at this distance.
